I haven’t seen any meltdowns, no. Beyond being “Space Games”, they are very different games anyway. Yes, No Man’s Sky has had a very impressive development at an impressive speed, while Star Citizen… hasn’t, but Star Citizen is aiming for a completely different scale of simulation and detail.

This doesn’t have the head tracking capabilities of the VR kit, as you only insert the Switch which doesn’t have a gyro without the joycons.

22 titles actually, of which 14 were released in the US.

Not sure I care about the game itself, but the art style is beautiful!

I think it’s a fun novelty, but locking the actual software behind the Online+ Expansion pack instead of including it with the (no doubt expensive) accessory is a bit crap.

One would hope so. But if there’s one thing far-right politicians do really well, it’s surviving political scandals.

Good, but with a process this long, I imagine he’s had more than enough time to hide/destroy any relevant evidence.

It is tiring and frustrating to know that it’ll more than likely be back. At this point, we need a law that makes sure that this kind of surveillance is never legal. But the hurdles for that are unfortunately way higher than just getting a blocking minority.

Generally yes, there’s always a lot of opposition to these kind of proposals in Germany. But the biggest party in power right now is known for its many attempts to massively increase surveillance.

Actively not supporting it, at least in its current iteration.

There are many. My current e-bike is a Focus, made in Germany and using a German Bosch motor. Very happy with it. Generally not every single component will be European though, for example my bike’s brakes are Shimano and the suspension is SR Suntour.

That’s fair, but I also don’t see a problem in voicing criticism about aspects of the game I don’t like. Especially if I do like the game as a whole. People should not see that as an attack on their personal enjoyment of the game.

I like the game, but I definitely think it deserves some criticism. I really don’t get the thinking behind not placing a bench directly in front of every boss arena. The run-backs don’t make the game harder, just more frustrating. It’s also something I disliked in older Souls games, but thankfully they realized the problem and fixed it in Elden Ring. And some mechanics are just baffling, like benches that are locked behind a paywall, which you have to pay every time you want to access the bench. Why on earth would they do this, with currency already being as sparse as it is?

I agree that there didn’t seem to be much negative sentiment and it was great to see. Just to point it out though: the reason Silksong crashed the store while even successful AAA-games don’t is that Silksong didn’t have preorders while AAA-games do, meaning there won’t be millions of people trying to purchase the game at the same time the second it releases.

Not quite the same, you can only restore those with your Steam Account. For GOG it’s just an installer for the game, which you can run and install anywhere as many times as you want, without needing any access to your account.

Also on GOG. DRM-free and presumably without the server issues.

Yes, I played it for 12 hours and quite liked it, but eventually got stuck at some bossfight and moved on to other games.

That’s a great price. I’m not even on the Silksong hypetrain and fully intended to wait for a discount a few years down the line, but I might just get it for that a few days after release if the reviews are good.

I started and finished Herdling all in one go. Nice, relaxed game with a beautiful atmosphere. The mechanics are relatively simple but with the game being so short, they don’t overstay their welcome. There was also a link at the end of the credits sequence which lead to a promotion where you can send the publisher a self-addressed envelope and they send you… something back. I did that, so I’m curious what it will be. Expecting stickers though.

I’ve also been playing some Warhammer 40k: Rogue Trader. 24 hours in and only scratching the surface, so classic CRPG I guess. The game strikes quite a good balance between story/reading, combat and space exploration.

Also, implying that she may be apponted undemocratically because we didn’t elect her directly is naive at best and outright dishonest at worst

I never said that. No, it’s because we had a democratic process set up for the previous election, which the commission chose to ignore this time. See also my other comment. It’s not just me saying this either, much of the parliament was furious at the way she was chosen.
